[The Secret Recipe Club] - Dutch Oven Bread & Pesto Potato Salad

As you already know by now, there are four groups of lovely bloggers who visit each others assigned blogs keeping it a secret from one another until the big reveal day.

For me there are two exciting moments: First one when I get the email of my assigned blog and second one when I see who was assigned to me and what recipe(s) they made and what they think about my blog in general.

Why I joined? Because I think it is a fun way to discover new blogs and step outta my comfort zone a bit by being assigned an unknown blog and having to find a recipe that suits me and tempts me to cook myself.

She has a lot of very yummy looking recipes on her blog and I had a lot of fun browsing and reading through her blog. I decided to do two recipes for SRC: Dutch Oven Bread and Pesto Potato Salad - because I needed to bake bread anyway and this one sounded pretty easy and nice for me plus I havent yet baked bread in a Dutch Oven very often. The Potato Salad was the perfect dinner for me as it was really hot here lately and I am not too fond of cooking when it has more than 30°C in my kitchen...

I mostly followed her instructions for the bread she gives in this post: Dutch Oven Bread except I used a mixture of 1/3 rye and 2/3 wite spelt flour which led me to use 2 cups of water than the stated 1 1/2 cups. I also added some bread spices (ground cumin, anise and coriander seeds) to spice it up a bit.

As for the Pesto Potato Salad I didnt have corn at hand so I used some frozen peas. It was a very lovely dinner!!
